No one sold out to them, we just embraced their messaging because it was making Republicans look foolish.

Simple twitter search can show you that plenty of liberal voters gave money to the LP. They raised almost $42M. Who do you think the majority of that money came from.
I'm all for "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" in terms of strategy. Providing your enemy with the means to turn around and attack you afterwards is Regan/Bush doctrine ####.

What is funny about the whole thing is those never Trumpers provided more support and action in trying to defeat Trump than the Bernie Bros did in two elections. You might want to stew on that for a good long time, because your team did sweet #### all to help defeat the most dangerous man American politics has seen come along in generations, if not ever.

Who is my team? Also, Bernie has campaigned his ass off for Biden.

If I’m conservative I want a better liberal point of view that does the same.
Anyone who wants to be challenged by incompetent weak opponents divorced from logic, facts, reason, & evidence is a childish pathetic loser in my opinion.

Except that's not who are what the neocons were/are. They pioneered post-truth discourse and the discrediting of experts, academics, and the media. They and their ilk are the biggest reason we are where we are. Let's not lift them up with revisionist history.
